Premium Notes Of the Mutual Fire

. t"tH1uih NUTS W tue mutual Fire
Insurance Go. Of Montgomery Ca
good deal has been said lately about the plan
OF RiviHg premium notes, required by our com
PanV, aud having been asked for Information,
thought few lines on the subject would be
OF interest to your readers.
The notes read as follows: ~ promiss IN
the said company or their Treasurer FOR the
time being, the sum Of - dollars. In such
portions and at such time or times "A the d.
rectors Of said company, NAV arreeably 10
their Act Incorporation require, &C." Look
ing at the 2nd condition of the policy and AT
the 10th section Of the Act of INCORPORATION.
we hrd that the notes cannot be demanded
either wholly or in part, except for the purpose
Of paying tosses Jy FIRE and nothing else.
II has been stated that our directors can de-
mand the full value Of the notes 300 times in
one year if hey have occasion to; a statement
which has no foundation in fact, as one such
assessment would bring nearly ~ hundred
thousand dollars and Is such assessments
would pay every risk we have and leave a
balance Of s92 thousand dollars for a reserve
fund to start new company.
Our average yearly losses (taking the last
four years. is $34,7 Surprising BY some
extraordinary combination OF circumstances
they should reach 100 thousand dollars. an
assessment Of o. per cent. would more than
meet 1t; had we no reserve fund; but as we
have, there could he no assessment. because il
IS more than ample to meet even this ertraof-
binary loss
believe il is impossible for onr losses to
reach 100 thousand dollars in one year, or
anything like it; because in no case do We e.
coed $1,000 in one risk, within circle Of 80
yards diameter, taking any point as a center
and only very limited amount IN any town
or village
Our losses in Upper Marlboro only amount
ed to 1884 We do not insure nearer than
one mile of Baltimore city and not within the
city limits of Washington or Georgetown,
and never out sf the State, except in the Dis
trict OF Columbia Our company has been
Incorporated 80 years ths 10th day Of next
March and have never assessed a premium
note yet. Our annual income Of per cent
interest on premium notes now amounts TO
SAT-, 500, Four investments about S., 300 The
annual expenses Of the company are only
about Sc, 500 leaving balance every year to
increase the reserve fund as the amount avail
able to meet fires, now AMOUNTS to nearly 80
Thousand dollars which must be exhausted
before a prem ium note can be assessed any
difficulty arising from having given note to

gomery county is more imaginary than real.
